Campbell arrived at the Dauphin County Judicial Center Thursday morning to be arraigned on theft charges via video conference.

Campbell has been accused of stealing more than $8,000 from the Historic Harrisburg Association. He was the executive director of the charitable organization that had pledged to help raise funds to replace the city's broken light poles.

The Dauphin County District Attorney says that Campbell admitted stealing the money to pay for medical and college expenses.

The mayor says the city has no reason to believe at this time that Campbell stole from the city as treasurer.
